As soon as I picked Mom up on Friday she was a little out of it and started complaining about her head, her stomach, her back and etc. To take her mind off her "ailments", after we picked Amelia up, we took advantage of the weather and spent a good bit of time outside. Her big smile seemed to show how much she enjoyed it and watching Amelia run around. We also attempted to make a "SPOOKY" witches broom as our craft. Below are pictures of both. Manicures were also part of the evenings festivities. We had a good time and she seems to be doing better.

Family night

Mom and I started off the evening with a REAL pedicure instead of our normal at home one. I think we were both in need of a good one and that chair works as a back and neck massager so we knocked we got in some much needed relaxing. :) We did our manicures at home though. Mom and Dad Dooley came into town and so instead of a "girls" night we had a "family" night with her, me, Amelia, Wilma, George and Brent. We painted mason jars into spooky Halloween decorations as our craft and made owl treats out of rice crispies dipped in chocolate. It was a fun evening for sure. :)

Mom is back on a small dose of this certain medication and it sure does seem to help her with having less confusion. Her home health person said she is much more with it and not having hallucinations anymore. She is doing better and certainly had a great time Friday night!

Love you Mom!

Happy Birthday Mimi!

Due to our Amarillo trip we did not do girls night on our normal Friday night. However, we did celebrate Mom's birthday by having girl's night the on Wednesday instead (the day before her actual birthday). Me, Mom, Amelia, Heather, June and Brent all hung out making the traditional holiday Peanut Butter Balls and of course manicures were part of the the evenings festivities as well :). On Thursday, September 29th (her actual birthday) I took her birthday cake that Mia and I made and decorated for her later Wednesday night up to her adult daycare to celebrate up there. Let me tell ya, she was all smiles :). She is doing good and getting better.

Movie Night!

Project pictures

She really is doing better and better just a little confused this week. Her gorgeous personality still shines through just like her gorgeous smile. Check out our finished projects!

Girl's night September 17th

When I picked Mom up on Friday afternoon around 3 I greeted with a big hug and smile which was wonderful but I soon noticed she seemed more confused than normal. Upon asking Amanda, her home health person, she confirmed my fear of her being way more confused lately. It seems the Dr took her off her meds that were making her clearer yet causing her to be more anxious, shaky and feel nauseous and "drugged". They are still tweaking her medicine as it can take a long time so confusion just might be part of the deal for a little while. And, when I say confusion, I mean CONFUSION. Maybe she was just having an off night but it seemed like it was everything she was confused about and a lot of it just didn't make any sense at all. Usually when I repeat some of her "logic" back to her she will recognize how silly it sounds and admit she is just confused but she was standing by her words on Friday. She even told Amelia to hand her Grandma (referring to me) something and when I corrected her in saying I was indeed not Amelia's Grandma she corrected herself and said, "Oh sorry, hand this to Aunt Angie" then insisted that I was never married, Brent was Co's (her sister) boyfriend, I never had a baby and Amelia was HER child. UGH. Even after I showed her pictures of me having Amelia she STILL argued her point. She also kept wanting to walk out to "the front of the store (house) to check on the customers". Other than a few difficult moments, Me her and Amelia still had a good time on our girls night. We made a "sucker cupcake" (will post a few pics of this), gave her a manicure and pedicure(and shaved her legs in the process), made "spooky cookies" as Amelia likes to call them :) here are a few pics of the "sucker cupcake" lol.
